Lemon Sheet Cake for Two

This lemon sheet cake for two is moist and lemony topped with even more lemon goodness. It’s the perfect amount of sheet cake for 2-4 people.

Small Batch Lemon Sheet Cake

A normal size sheet cake is definitely something you don’t make to feed just a couple of people. A traditional Texas sized sheet cake is HUGE! And if you want a full size version of this cake you can find it here. But around here, this reduced size version is just perfect.

We love a good sheet cake for two. This Chocolate Sheet Cake for Two was a huge hit and the non chocolate lovers went crazy for this Almond Texas Sheet Cake for Two. Now, with a lemon version we should have all the flavor palates covered.

Tips for Making Small Batch Lemon Cake

• If you don’t have a 9x 7 sheet pan you can use a loaf pan and the cake will be a bit thicker and will need to cook a bit longer. You can also use an 8 x 8 pan.

• You will have half a lemon leftover after juicing and zesting. Use it to garnish the cake.
• Don’t worry if your batter is lumpy. It will be o.k.!
• Add the garnish to the cake right before serving as the fruit will “weep” on the cake if put on too far ahead of time.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, use regular milk. Add the lemon juice called for in the cake into the milk and let it sit for a minute.
• Frost the cake while it is slightly warm but not hot.

How to Make Lemon Sheet Cake for Two

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray pan with cooking spray.
• Mix all the wet ingredients together.
• Add in dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated.

• Pour into prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes or until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan is lightly golden brown on the edges.
• Allow cake to cool almost completely.

Lemon Glaze

• The glaze consistency is between a frosting and glaze for drizzling.
• Add lemon juice to powdered sugar.
• Pour in just enough milk to make the right spreading consistency. If your lemon is bigger you may not need to use any milk.
